Is there a way to turn Duplifaces (Instansing in version 2.8) into a mesh?
In object mode select the parent object, press F3 to access the search menu and type &quot;make instances real&quot;.
Or in the menu look for Object&gt;apply&gt;make instances real. (or press ⎈ Ctrl+A and select Make Instances Real)

Form the blender 2.8 manual

Make Instances Real creates a new object for each instance generated by the selected ones, and removes any direct instancing from those.
In the end, each instance becomes a real object.
